- Abstract
Background. Renal failure after ingestion of Chinese herbs between 1990 and 1992 was related to the replacement of Stephania tetrandra by Aristolochia fangchi (ST–AF), containing nephrotoxic and carcinogenic aristolochic acids. However, the relationship between ST–AF and renal failure is still a matter of debate. We therefore tested the impact of the ST–AF ingested dose on the progression of renal function deterioration.
